Those involved in the Timms Review must be able to report back to their communities. That’s how we ensure credibility and accountability.

True co-production means listening to ALL Disabled people.
We support a pan-disability approach - one that reflects physical, sensory, cognitive, and psychological experiences. Co-production must be at the heart of the Timms review.

Cuts to #PIP must be off the table.
The Timms Review should focus on removing barriers - not reducing support. Financial cuts are never the answer.

Disabled leadership matters.
We’re calling for at least one of the Timms Review’s co-chairs to be #Disabled. Representation at the top drives real change.

Employment support needs to be voluntary for Disabled people – taken up because it actually works, not because of threats and sanctions. ❌

Removing barriers for Disabled people to get to work or school on time should be a no-brainer.
Being able to use a bus pass when you need it is not a big ask. It's hard to see the logic in this outcome, let alone compassion. 😞

Tonight Parliament failed disabled people.
🥀 Labour voted down my amendment to scrap unfair bus pass restrictions.
🌳 The Conservatives whipped their MPs to abstain.
🚌 This isn’t good enough. I won’t stop until disabled people get the fair, accessible transport they deserve.

Yet it is advertising covert surveillance roles to, in their words, "gather evidence to prove/disprove offences."
